Split cable, insert sleeve

Definition

In this action, a cable is split, resulting in 1 new cable and a new sleeve, which are placed between the two (old and new) cables.

Split cable segments

If the original cable is subdivided into several cable segments, these are allocated to the two cables, where 2 options are possible:

•The location of the sleeve is identical to the end location of a cable segment.  
In this case, the segments are allocated to the original cable up to the sleeve location.  The following are allocated to the new cable.

•The location of the sleeve is not identical to the end location of a cable segment.
In this case, the user must indicate a length where the division will be carried out.  This helps calculate which segment is to be divided. The allocation is then performed as described above.

Left / Right

This information in the workflow “Split cable, insert sleeve” indicates where the new cable is located in the newly created structure.

Sleeve

The new created sleeve must have at least the dimension of the cable. An existing sleeve without cross-connections can also be selected.

New cable

The new cable receives the same component type as the original cable.

Cross-connections

The original cable is connected to the sleeve 1:1 (e.g. left) and the new cable is connected 1:1 with the sleeve (e.g. right).

Cross-connections remain unchanged at the cable ends; however, they belong to different cables as new connections.

Options

There are several options for the interconnection of the internal connection.

•1:1 patched through

•Open

•Only connect used or named paths
